West Hill Park School is an independent, coeducational, day and boarding school for boys and girls aged 3 years to 13 years. It is situated in Fareham, England close to the Hampshire coast, between Southampton and Portsmouth.
West Hill Park School was established in 1920 by Charles Ransome. The school remained family owned until 1959 when it became a Charitable Trust. The school is set in 28 acres in rural Hampshire overlooking the village of Titchfield. This historic village is mentioned in the Domesday Book. The main school building dates back to the 18th Century and was originally the private residence of the influential Delmé family. It was established as a preparatory school in 1920 by Charles Ransome and has continued to this day.
West Hill Park is a non-selective School and does not have formal entrance exam. An informal baseline assessment is carried out during a taster visit.
West Hill Park School is a member of The Boarding Schools' Association, The Independent Association of Prep Schools and The Independent Schools Council.
West Hill Park School was inspected by The Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) in March 2016.
